required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

The  above  has  now  been  bot'orc  the  Pubhc  for  nearly  ten  years, 
and  has  been  constantly  mcreasing  in  popular  favor.  It  is  now 
admitted  to  be  an  indespensablo  companion  for  all  persons  desirous 
of  obtaining  accurate  information,  and  a  correct  idea  of  this  great- 
est wonder  of  tiie  world. 

The  present  edition  has  been  carefully  revised,  as  well  as  im- 
proved in  many  particulars.  New  and  correct  Maps  of  the 
Niagara  River,  from  Lake  Erie  to  Lake  Ontario,  and  of  the  Falls 
and  immediate  vicinity,  have  been  added,  and  also,  six  new  and 
accurate  views  of  the  Falls,  from  the  most  commanding  positions. 
The  work  is  now  believed  to  be  correct  in  every  particular;  and 
far  superior  to  any  yet  before  the  public.
